Editor's Disclaimer

To be very honest — nobody actually said this. AI wrote it in the style of the archive to keep this page from feeling empty while we chase down real quotes. Enjoy the fiction responsibly.

“If I'm being honest, nobody reads the books on the shortlist. We read reviews of the books, skim the first three chapters, then vote based on whose publisher threw the best dinner party. Literary prizes are networking events with trophies.”
